LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) weapons became practical when small, extremely efficient power sources were developed. The laser beam is coherent monochromatic light, and is less effective against countermeasures to refract or disperse it, such as smoke or fog. Each shot discharges an internal capacitor, so these weapons fire short pulses rather than a continuous beam.
